Harper's Young People
AN ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY.

Harper's Young People has bcen called
"the model Of what a periodical for young
readers ought to be-" and the justice of
this commentator is amply sustained by
the large circulation it has attained both
at home and in Great Britain. This sue
cess has been reached by methods that
must commend themselves to the judg-
ment of parents, no less than to the tastes
OF children-namely, by an earnest and
well sustained effort to provide the best
and most attractive reading for young
people at low price. The illustrations
are copious and of conspicuously high
standard Of excellence.

Consistency am Consistency

The Journal Of last week, in reply.
ing to the charge of the Democratic
press that the G. A. II. is fast becom.
ing a Republican machine, maintains
That the truth of the charge is con
/
aimed in this truth, alleged by the
Journal, that nine tenths of the Union
ex-sOldiers are to-day Republicans.
The Journal further says in the same
connection that 1.-THE Republican
party was the party of the Union,
and the Democratic party was not.
No Republican was ever suspected of
disloyalty. But every man who was
known as cOppcrhead,' every man
who was suspected of sympathizing
with the rebellion, every man who
was arrested and taken to Camp
Chase, every newspaper and public
speaker that denounced Abraham
Lincoln as a 'tyrant, and called I'm
ion soldiers Lincoln hireliDgs,' &c,
all these, without exception, were
Democrats"
Now, admitting for the sake of ar
gument, that the above statement OF
the Journal is true what can we make
of it T.? What argument is there in it
which contra iicts the charge that the
q. A. K. of to-day is but Republi-
can machine T If the G.. A. Il. is not
apolitical machine to boust any party
what matters it whether nine-tenths
arc Republicans or Democrats? What
has the Republican party, as q party,
to say about the constituent parts of
the @. A. r.? Does the Journal mean
that the g. A. Il. is composed as it
indicates, and because the Republi-
caus were ali loyal, and the majority
of the Democrats were disloyal that
the G, A. Il. must or ought to sympa.
thize with the Republic party of
to day ? Is it for those reasons that
the G.. A. r. passed resolutions con
demning Democratic ndministra-
tion and Democratic congressman ?
is this the reason that such members
of the @. A. r. as Fairchild and Tut
tie, desire to insult the President of
'he United States because he is q
Democrat ? And il the q. A. r.
will continue 10 denounce everything
that is Democratic today, even for
the reasons alleged by the Journal to
have existed in war times, isn't it
time that the ten union ex soldiers
who are Democrats should refuse to
longer participate with the ninety Re-
pu' licans Ii the reunion is held
for the benefit of the Republican
party, with all that the word Gre
publican" implies, both now and in
war times, let Democrats refuse TO
support and recognize the G A. r.
as non-partisan institution.
But the trouble is, as we have indi-
Gated before, that many of the Posts
are being used to satisfy private and
personal ends of designing roliti-
clans, both those who were and those
who were not soldiers, and especially
is this true in this county. The ear
marks are very plain.
